Multiplayer is fun... for a day. After you play through every map twice it simply ends up being a case of 'Oh its this map. Now, lets see, I go to this position, enemies will come through here...' etc. It doesn't bring anything new to the table but DICE did a good job with the levelling up, which makes the multiplayer slightly compelling.…Expand

The campaign was fairly short (decent length for a shooter), but it was well done. This is definitely a story-driven FPS, and it pulls it off well. The ending was actually quite touching, and I absolutely loved how they dedicated the game to all the unsung heroes laying their lives on the line every day. Now that it's no longer $60, I recommend picking up a copy if you like shooters. I enjoyed it.

I tried the beta demo and was hooked- EA knew what they were doing! However, the single player is **** awful. I played 30 minutes of it and got bored. Its extremely linear and simple. Tactics aren't needed. You run to a place, see 5 Al Quada members scramble to cover- you can kill 3 of them while they're running around- and you pick of their heads in another 2 seconds. Rinse. Repeat. Its like a sub-par Playstation 2 shooter, or Time Crisis 2 (without the fun). There's no puzzles, no strategy, no novelty, it really feels like a weak shooter from 2002. For some odd reason the graphics are not as good as the multiplayer. SP graphics are a little bland. Single player feels like it only exists to give context to the multiplayer maps. SP is basically all the multiplayer maps chained together with some more streets in between and some cutscenes (the only part of SP I liked were the cutscenes).

The multiplayer is an entirely different game. Everything about it rocks. The sound design, the graphics, the gameplay... This game is mostly about finding cover and good vantage points, killing enemies and waiting for a chance to advance. Cover fire from teamates is very valuable- and the game rewards it. Each kill gets you XP points, you get extra for headshots, savior kills, revenge kills, destroying vehicles, coordinating attacks and a few other things. XP gained with each class unlocks new weapons and weapon tweaks for that class only. You aren't allowed to choose what upgrade you can get like Battlefield games, but that doesn't bother me.

I've only played COD for 2 minutes- I quit after a 7-year-old screamed **** at me (that sums up what I think of COD and Halo). However, I've always been a fan of Battlefield (2 and 2142, but I've never played Modern Warfare). MOH seems to improve on the class systems of the BF games- nobody is stuck being a medic (the health system is exactly like Gears of War- when you get hit you start seeing red and blood spatter on the edge of the screen. get to cover and you heal in 5 seconds or so, but it doesn't take much to kill someone). Also, nobody is forced to sit around and play commander. Scorechains give access to mortar/missile strikes and radar sweeps. I think this is how COD works too (maybe?). And permanent ammo boxes are spread around the map (for some game types).

Its hard to think of any problems with MP. There have been some servers where you get stuck on a terrible team, and there is no team balance, but this is easily remedied (ragequit). I've only gotten about a 1/5 of the way up the weapon unlock thing, but it seems like I'll probably have everything unlocked after maybe only 20 hours of gameplay (roughly estimating). I remember unlocking weapons in BF2 or 2142 was a huge deal since it only came once in such a long time. Then again, with MOH unlocking everything is within everyone's grasp and not just for those who play 10 hours a day.

Overall, I have to give this game a 7. A great multiplayer game alone is worth $40-45, but this game cost $60, and at 60 I expect at least a good single player experience. Rated separately, the MP is 10/10, the SP 4/10.…Collapse

There are a lot of mixed reviews and I'm going to try and be honest here. I hate reading reviews where people are like "OMG SUCKS SO BAD." If your points aren't valid I don't think it's fair to those who worked so hard on the game.

Given that, I think this is a solid shooter with some a couple of major overlooked issues.
Starting with the single player. I played this in one afternoon.There are a lot of mixed reviews and I'm going to try and be honest here. I hate reading reviews where people are like "OMG SUCKS SO BAD." If your points aren't valid I don't think it's fair to those who worked so hard on the game.

Given that, I think this is a solid shooter with some a couple of major overlooked issues.

Starting with the single player. I played this in one afternoon. Roughly 5 hours long, I felt it was concise, action packed, but on the short side. I feel that developers feel that can get away with it. But what happened to 12 hour games? This isn't no Fallout 3 (I easily spent 60 hours on that game), but 5 hours? Eh. Despite the shortness, I really enjoyed this game.

Graphically, this game is on par with other shooters out there, nothing new and amazing, but it looks good. There are some great parts with really impressive lighting, things blow up, fire looks decent, again, on par with other shooters but nothing crazy.

Sound, now I'm a composer and audio engineer and I thought the sound was well done. I felt that the voice overs and communication was very authentic, explosions were huge and gunfire is rock solid. A couple of strange mix decisions (the melee sounds like your hacking into a log with a big axe, a little overkill and loud). But I love the dynamics of the gunfights because you go from in your face to absolute silent desert ambiance. Strongest suit of this game has to be the audio.

Is this game original? Meh. I felt like I was playing MW2 again. Slow motion, kicking down doors, trekking through the snow. Little bit of driving, little bit of sniping. It's all good to me, though, it sure as hell kept me entertained. I also don't know what the hell people are talking about in relation to story. Sure, the game has no real engaging story, but I feel that this flowed way better than the story in Modern Warefare 2. That game just doesn't make any sense. This actually has a flow between missions, you're never guessing what character you are playing or what your mission is, it's very straight forward. Now onto a couple of negatives now that I dug into that...

Video cutscenes are laaaaame. I don't understand why half of the action packed parts aren't live. Maybe it has to do with rendering, conserving disk space... I don't know. But I wish the whole thing was in-game/in-engine instead of prerendered cutscenes. Just a little detail, I know, but just an observation.

Bugs bugs bugs. Not a whole lot but sure as hell some bugs that should have been caught by QA. "Come on, follow me this way..." as he crouches in the sand... Really? You make me restart my missions because the scripts didn't work? Terrible overlook on the scripts. Tons of them were too slow or bugged out. I'd often be so far ahead I'm waiting for the guys to come to me or I'd have to go back to trigger some sort of script. This seems to be the biggest issue with the game. It took me out of the moment a couple times, but it doesn't destroy the game or render it unplayable. It's just a little frustrating at times.

Multiplayer... This is where feelings get hurt...

It doesn't play well in my honest opinion. I've played the Call of Duty series since the first one and they simply have the formula down. This one doesn't work. Weapons are unbalanced. No prone makes for awkwardness. Sniping and RPGs are ridiculous. The maps are teeny tiny and are not designed well. Camping galore. And spawn camping and spawn kills are also insanely stupid. And the matches seem way too short and are not as team based as they make it out to be. Honestly, skip the multiplayer. I never played BC2. So I can't compare. All I can say is I have much more fun playing MW2 than this multiplayer. Simply because it feels more balanced (minus n00b tubes and knives). There is more to choose from, and it is feature rich. YES, MW2 is more arcadey but for someone like me, I'm not looking for an ultrarealistic game. If that's what you want, neither MoH nor CoD truely offer that. The MP component on this game is dry and feels unfinished, it's really hard to explain.

All in all. This is a renter or borrow from a friend or buy used later... You can beat the game in one day, and skip the multiplayer. Is it a terrible game? No, this is a solid game and the guys at Danger Close did a great job. Could this have been better? Oh man, my expectations were high and this game baaaarely came close. Just barely. That's why I give it a 7.…Expand

But the game doesn't do much wrong compared to its predecessors either. My personal critic of this game and many similar shooters is that you are saddled with stupid team mates that ad nothing to the game and you can not complete the mission your way. For example you can't go stealthy or take a another way, its just way to linear, just checkpoint to checkpoint. (Stupid) game developers call it the Hollywood experience.

Game style like Call Of Duty Modern Warfare or Battlefield 3, but never to live up to these. The story is weak and it feels incomplete without a clear purpose. The gameplay is pretty good, but neither is at the level of its competitors.

Only recommended if you get it at a low price and if you have played the games mentioned above.

This game is not as bad as critics say. It's better than I thought it would be. The singleplayer story isn't full of twists and turns, it's more like a tribute to US and NATO troops. Keep it mind as you play the story, many of what you see is happening right now in Afghanistan, especially when you switch to play as a Ranger (most of the time you play as a Navy SEAL).

Was the game that easy, or is it that I'm good at first-person shooters? The multiplayer, well, that's a different story. I don't know how it has been in the past, but right now, I don't like it. You frequently get spawn-killed and everyone seems to spam grenade and rocket launchers. Some say, it's a combination of Call of Duty and Battlefield. From what I played, I still haven't decided if that's a good or bad thing.

In the end, where CoD and Battlefield excels in multiplayer, MoH excels in singleplayer. Having been a fan of MoH since 2002, I don't think MoH was meant for MP. Back when the game first came out, I would definitely recommend a rental for the singleplayer. Now that the game is cheap, it's worth buying, so you can check the multiplayer and judge for yourself, but, as I've said, MoH was always a SP game. One day, I'll check on MoH:Warfighter, and see how that game was so bad, EA is putting the series on hold.…Expand

Fun enough in its own way but nothing like the triumph that was the original and nothing like it could be given that this is over a decade later. My main issue is that this is the dictionary definition of linear, where deviating even a fraction from the often dull script set out leads to instant death, reflecting lazy design.

I bought this solely for the single-player campaign and was not disappointed. The gameplay is much like the Modern Warfare games: heavily scripted with few tactical options and the usual assortment of spec forces weapons.

I would have really liked it if this game had additional single-player content (bonus missions, survival mode, etc.) but since I only paid $5 for it on Steam, I suppose I can't complain.…Expand

A solid modern shooter that does the basics well with strong graphics, sound and gameplay mechanics. But it really brings nothing new or overly interesting to the genre. Very linear and predictable makes this game quite boring at times.

Worth a look if a fan of modern shooters but nothing extraordinary to see here.

As a gaming Vet if you say Medal of Honor i think Awesome single player war game this is a mix match of good single and multiplayer warfare and i enjoy it but think they are losing the plot when it comes to MoH games.

I didn’t even finish the game. The game didn’t let me go past the 3rd to last mission. I keep getting put into a place where to defend a position and yet I hold it for 10 minutes and nothing happens. I tried restarting the checkpoint and that doesn’t work.
Other than that, the audio/dialogue is great and for being a 2010 game, the gameDoes Medal of Honor (2010) still hold up?

Other than that, the audio/dialogue is great and for being a 2010 game, the game graphics of destruction, gun sounds and small ambient sounds make the game enjoyable. Truly the only good thing about this game is the hell fighter bomb run and ATV part. The AIM sensitivity and unoptimized screen tearing is what makes the game sometimes unplayable.

What are flaws? Lowering AIM sensitivity does nothing (it’s really fast when you move the mouse). If you try to launch the game via Origin, you will get fail launch message that states “General protection fault!” error (which they still haven’t fixed) there is no workaround this if you launch it via Origin.

You will have to play the game without Origin (by putting the game on your desktop, read down below for the steps) if you want to play the campaign. I was playing on 1920x1080 and I sensed the game was causing screen tearing during gameplay and it will sometimes do a millisecond freeze. Running/sprinting seems slow and cutscenes seem unfinished. Plus 0 achievements for PC users, only the consoles got this.

Want to play the campaign but you can’t because of the error? Go to the Drive where you installed | MoH > Origin Games > Medal of Honor > Binaries > Open “moh” file (right click and press ‘send to desktop’).

Note: In the same binarie folder, find a file named “MoHUpdater” and run that as a Admin so that you can apply the patch. If not, you will not be able to play.…Expand

Yes its a CoD copy with a much better sound engine/shooter mechanics but with weak character development (i think im pointing this in every game i played recently...) and plot. A lot of AI malfunction and gamebreaking moments but Fun to play, i d give a 6 if it wasnt for the amazing sound engine.

I kinda actually like this game, even though i will not give it higher than 6/10 The first thing is like is that this game differentiates itself from its cousins (CoD and BFs) by being very focused on the US special forces Seals and Rangers to be specific. It was interesting to follow the operatives story and see how it plays out. The pacing itself is better than CoD (ie its**SP ONLY**

That being said, there is nothing new in this game. The gunplay is solid but nothing new, the story needed something more to be able to stand out and the linearity gets annoying sometimes.

Final verdict, Its NOT BAD but its JUST OK. Get it on a sale if you like such Modern Military Shooters.…Expand

I was, however, pleasantly surprised by MEDAL OF HONOR. It's a good solid shooter with nice graphics and a realistic atmosphere. The combat is satisfying and reasonably challenging, and it doesn't hold the players hand as much as some games. The single player campaign is, however, very short, at around 6 hours of play, but as I got it pretty much for free I can't complain about that. I can't comment on the multiplayer mode because I haven't played it but the single player part is fun just as long as you don't expect too many hours gameplay from it.…Expand

Medal of Honour Airbourne shook my heart, and I cried a little at the end. This Medal of Honor, yes I was emotional a little at the end. You feel, 'Oh no, do the armed forces and the honest Afganistan folk have to go through this'.

It had the odd error and unclear direction:

An objective did not trigger in one place for me, and was stuck facing infinite foes until I run out of ammo. Ah maybe it was me, I'll reload the checkpoint. Same again. Gone through 500 rounds in a rifle that fires single shots, emptied my automatic rifle, and using pistol (that has infinite ammo.) Usually you press F next to a team-mate to get ammo, but in this scenario, they say you have plenty. Even though I am out.

Anyway I restarted the mission and I was OK. It played out that time as it should.

Helicopter work. Where in the controls does it say how to fire Hellfire missiles. IT DOESN'T. I had to google for it, after repeating stuff over and over. Next time I noticed there was a quick message flashed up on the screen with instruction how to use. I didn't see it before because I was fighting. Plus I was too busy concentrating on the ENDLESS CHATTER OVER THE RADIO.

The squelshy squaly endless rubbish banging on over the radio. It talks to you through about 2/5 of the game.

The graphics and scenery are awesome in places. It opens nicely, and the closing scenes in the mountains and snow are beautiful.…Expand

It was supposed to be the game that would break Activision's CoD empire, it was supposed to be the game that would reestablish the once great Meda of Honor name. Now, it's a game that will no-one remember and the game that fell short in every aspect it could have.

The story of MoH itself is uninteresting, undercooked and short. The game can be finished in a mere 5 hours on normalIt was supposed to be the game that would break Activision's CoD empire, it was supposed to be the game that would reestablish the once great Meda of Honor name. Now, it's a game that will no-one remember and the game that fell short in every aspect it could have.

The story of MoH itself is uninteresting, undercooked and short. The game can be finished in a mere 5 hours on normal settings, without any, and I mean ANY replay value. There aren't any collectibles, multiple paths or story elements that would encourage the player to start the game all over again. Once you have finished it semi-frustrated there is no going back to it. Frustration is a concept that will many of us have to face in MoH. The super-linear nature of the discourages any way of alternate pathfinding. To put it simple, if you don't do what the game says you to do, you're dead. Don't try to be a hero, as you always have to follow instructions to survive. If you are told to hold position, don't try to peek above the wall, because you are getting shot. If you are told to run or retreat don't try to stay and hold off the enemy as they will kill you...sometimes even behind cover.

Not is all bad about the game however. Two things stand out the most. The graphics are beautiful even on medium settings. Water, rocks, buildings and shadows look astonishing. The other thing where you have to give credit to the creators is trying to maintain authenticity. Places, soldiers, the way they talk to each other, situations all feel real to a person who is inexperienced in war situations. The game itself takes place in Afghanistan and it's plot is loosely based on the Operation Anaconda where US soldiers tried to destroy Taliban forces back in '02.

I can honestly say that I haven't seen a game that would want YOU to rush through it's single player mode. This game does. For one thing its ultra short. Experienced player can finish it in 4 to 5 hours easily, and checkpoints are so frequent that even if you happen to die, you won't be set back for more than 2 minutes of your progress. Literally, a level starts with an in-game cinematic and a shepherd is taken down silently by your fellow soldier, and boom checkpoint. Sometimes it feels like the game throws you a CP every time you reload you weapon. The level design is also horrible, excluding the first few stages, on all of the levels there is 1 hard point where you are so overwhelmed that you will die 3-10 times in 5 minutes. Up until that point and even after that there is little to no resistance. To put it gently, it's unbalanced.

When you get frustrated (and you'll get) by the SP you can try the Tier1 mode, which is unlocked once you've completed the SP on any difficulty. Basically, Tier1 is the same as the SP just with some gameplay tweaks, e.g. difficulty is set to hard and you have no restarts. Once you die, you have to start over again. There is a time limit in each level that you have to beat, and headshots will freeze the timer for a couple of seconds. To conserve time there aren't any cutscenes either. This mode really is for hardcore MoH players and I doubt that any of the one-timers will enjoy it.

And finally there is MP. Crafted from scratch with Frostbite it's completely a different game. This is the best part of the game hands down. You can choose a class with different set of weapons and level yourself up the get better in hunting down the opposition. You can engage in different type of game modes like: Team Assault (deathmatch), Sector Control (capture the flag), Clean Sweep (deathmatch without respawns) or Objective Raid (attack or defend certain assets) among others. It doesn't introduce anything new, but at least what it does, it does very well. No question that if you are an experienced FPS player you should skip the SP in its entirety and go straight to the MP to have some fun.

Gameplay: The game is an fps that may seem like a watered down version of Call of Duty, but it can actually hold its own ground. There’s a great mix up of gameplay from linear shoot em up type missions, to stealth missions, vehicle driving, and on rails helicopter battles. Some guns feel unrealistic, while some are good. It has the typical controls you’d expect from an FPS, it isn’t the greatest fps, but it is still worth a playthrough (sp). The multiplayer is fun but this is where the watered down version kicks in. Supposedly it’s done by DICE yet it doesn’t feel as good as their battlefield series. There aren’t any destructible environments, and it feels like an old days FPS shooter. It is still fun, but there are so many other options out that one may look the other way for Medal of Honor. 8.
Story: The story is okay, it’s based on real life undercover military that are hidden away watching Taliban activity. You’ll find yourself slowly boring away, but some characters can be memorable but they are easily forgotten. The game tries to create sad moments but never really impacts the player. A lesson may need to be learned from Call of Duty when it comes to impact/controversy. 6.5.
Lasting Appeal: The games singleplayer is very short, you can beat it in 2 sittings if you went all out. There is multiplayer but it isn’t the best. I can recommend this game but there are better options out there. 7.

Once more you have to kill people. Alrighty then. I like shooter games, but people there is no story. You are being dropped somewhere in Afghanistan and have there some operations without any pre-story. It can maitanly be linked to the current Terrorism searching operations... but it was boring. The story was boring. One operation was nice, the quad mission. The others are go there, kill 200 taliban, go somewhere else, let a comrade pick you up so you can play the script further, kill again 200 talibans. Go to spot C, seed a plant of weed, run back to B. Kill again 200 talibans... pretty repetitive.

Like all games of that kind it has the same problems too. Invincible walls, stupid AI. The snow there looks like an unmoded (without hd textures) Skyrim. You leave no footsteps in the snow... The game is pretty easy. I feeled like I was playing a port from a current console. The game is telling me where to go pushing H, where the enemy hides after I have not found them and of course begging your comrades for bullets. That seems... -> "if the game is too hard for you, please push button f12, DICE will gonna help you".

That was pretty much critics at all. To speak about some positive aspects the game has an awsome music/sound overlay. I played the game using a 5.1 supporting Headphones and I feeled hilarious! Awsome soundtrack, yummy!

Decent FPS with a more authentic take on modern military FPS. One of the better parts of MoH is the gunplay, it doesnt feel as arcady or numb as in Call of Duty, guns have good feedback and kick to them, you cant spray like in CoD or other more casuals popular shooters, you need to be precise and fire in single shots or bursts to get most out of it, leading to pretty satisfying gameplayDecent FPS with a more authentic take on modern military FPS.

Whole gunfeel wise its possibly best game done in Unreal engine where most games made with it have really no weight or feel to guns. Playing as NAVY SEAL and US Army Ranger in Afghanistan was pretty refreshing, it doesnt have those over the top cinematic setpieces, but the that stuff you do is close to real life situations and was satisfying nevertheless. Still you get to ride in gunner seat in AH 64 and rain hell with airstrike lasing.

Sadly game does have issues that bring it down in places, its mind numbingly linear in the vain of Call of Duty, in places enemies just keep endlessly respawning if you dont reach a specific trigger point in level, for some stupid taliban fighters with old inprecise AK's they can be be pretty hyper aware and precise by pin pointing your location and shooting you hard either behind good cover or not. Overall theres too many little generic FPS traits hurting the game. Story and characters wise game doesnt do that good of a job either, the guys you fight along are cool enough and if you have more respect for military than other average citizens you'll probably like them for what they are, simply game doesnt deliver the bombastic storylines you see in CoD which dvelve more into storytelling and drama. Also the length of the game is really short, just 3 - 4 hours, without rushing it i have to add.

Visuals wise for a UE3 title it looks pretty good for 2010, runs fine aswell, for the most part that is, there are levels in which fps tank so hard that it becomes irritating, luckily during fire engaments fps stay more or less stable.…Expand

Its hard to review this game because its really two very different games. The multiplayer game gets 10/10 for me. I tried the beta demo and was hooked- EA knew what they were doing!

I tried the beta demo and was hooked- EA knew what they were doing! However, the single player is **** awful. I played 30 minutes of it and got bored. Its extremely linear and simple. Tactics aren't needed. You run to a place, see 5 Al Quada members scramble to cover- you can kill 3 of them while they're running around- and you pick of their heads in another 2 seconds. Rinse. Repeat. Its like a sub-par Playstation 2 shooter, or Time Crisis 2 (without the fun). There's no puzzles, no strategy, no novelty, it really feels like a weak shooter from 2002. For some odd reason the graphics are not as good as the multiplayer. SP graphics are a little bland. Single player feels like it only exists to give context to the multiplayer maps. SP is basically all the multiplayer maps chained together with some more streets in between and some cutscenes (the only part of SP I liked were the cutscenes).

The multiplayer is an entirely different game. Everything about it rocks. The sound design, the graphics, the gameplay... This game is mostly about finding cover and good vantage points, killing enemies and waiting for a chance to advance. Cover fire from teamates is very valuable- and the game rewards it. Each kill gets you XP points, you get extra for headshots, savior kills, revenge kills, destroying vehicles, coordinating attacks and a few other things. XP gained with each class unlocks new weapons and weapon tweaks for that class only. You aren't allowed to choose what upgrade you can get like Battlefield games, but that doesn't bother me.

I've only played COD for 2 minutes- I quit after a 7-year-old screamed **** at me (that sums up what I think of COD and Halo). However, I've always been a fan of Battlefield (2 and 2142, but I've never played Modern Warfare). MOH seems to improve on the class systems of the BF games- nobody is stuck being a medic (the health system is exactly like Gears of War- when you get hit you start seeing red and blood spatter on the edge of the screen. get to cover and you heal in 5 seconds or so, but it doesn't take much to kill someone). Also, nobody is forced to sit around and play commander. Scorechains give access to mortar/missile strikes and radar sweeps. I think this is how COD works too (maybe?). And permanent ammo boxes are spread around the map (for some game types).

Its hard to think of any problems with MP. There have been some servers where you get stuck on a terrible team, and there is no team balance, but this is easily remedied (ragequit). I've only gotten about a 1/5 of the way up the weapon unlock thing, but it seems like I'll probably have everything unlocked after maybe only 20 hours of gameplay (roughly estimating). I remember unlocking weapons in BF2 or 2142 was a huge deal since it only came once in such a long time. Then again, with MOH unlocking everything is within everyone's grasp and not just for those who play 10 hours a day.

Overall, I have to give this game a 7. A great multiplayer game alone is worth $40-45, but this game cost $60, and at 60 I expect at least a good single player experience. Rated separately, the MP is 10/10, the SP 4/10.…Collapse

Overall, Medal of Honor is visually and aurally outstanding, but it needs much more polish on gameplay, scripted events, character/scene transitions and narrative construction before it's ready to really run with the big dogs.

Medal of Honor doesn't become the current image of Electronic Arts –
probably the most "humane" of all videogame corporations. Danger Close
Games' debut reminds of a time when EA was a gloomy assembly line
churning out soulless yearly sequels and movie tie-ins.

Good news: This is not Call of Duty. Bad news: This is not Call of Duty. Interesting environs and fast paced action can't hide more than a few story holes and the overall stupidity of opponents. [Issue#197]
